latest version KVIM-20170816

I opened this topic in order to place how to start LibreELEC with external media and install to eMMC.

To write the image to the media (SD or USB)

Delete media file “dtb.img” For image versions with the suffix KVIM this item does NOT delite. File “dtb.img” should be on the media.

Rename the file “remote.conf.vim” in “remote.conf”

To activate the multi-boot using this media (as an option, using the launch application in Android “Update&Backup”, details are in the subject of Ubuntu). Start LE with external media, to verify and customize yourself. If you are satisfied, choose off menu item “Reboot to Install to eMMC”. The system will automatically install the LE in the internal memory (eMMC).

To work the remote control, you need to use the old version of the firmware (with Android 6). The new version of the firmware (with Android 7) changed the format of the processing codes for the remote control and this format is not compatible with existing images LE. Therefore, the remote LE will not work if you attempt to run LE on a version 7 Android. So for those who wanted to install the LE in the internal memory (eMMC), you need to have the firmware in eMMC with the previous version of Android 6. Only then, after the install LE in the eMMC, will operate the remote control.

This is what I have discovered after more than a month of trying to get DSD native playback on Kodi and reading all the internet for Hi-Res playback and just to save some time in case someone else have plans to try it:Kodi can't passtrough DSD music by itself. Kodi only can play them by transcoding to PCM and the quality depends from the user configurations. Actually VIM can handle transcoding for all known DSD standards at "Low" (Low means fast real time transcoding in this case) from the Kodi settings. And can't do smooth playback at High transcoding quality only for numerous top-end 256bit, 11289k bitrate tracks.

The workaround for playing DSD native or DoP (DSD over PCM) without transcoding in Kodi is possible only on Linux based installations of Kodi where actually Linux take control of playback for DSD files (MPD or LMS for example).

I installed your image, but I have some stability problems with the wifi, so I wanted to know if you took the amlogic wifi driver with your images or if it is vanilla. If you don't know, that's fine, I will investigate more.

Important (for me) distinguish VIM from other develop circuit boards that it uses in common with the TV boxes platform. Including the presence of internal eMMC memory, which is the bootloader. From this it follows that it is possible to use a single scheme multi-download. No matter what system you to run from external media - all can be done with a script. Unlike the script for each system in the set of commands that are required specifically for each system. In this case there is no need to era…

The description says that the Khadas Vim has i2s interface, but in the GPIO Pinout does not has it. Where is i2s located? How to configure in Android? Are there software limitations of 16bit/ 48kHz or can it give out sound 24bit/192kHz?

I see that "PIN29-33: iomux for I2S", but Where is MCLK, LRCK, SCLK, DATA ?

Hello Vim Users,
I'm like it VIM a much for few reasons but It's missing here some card to offer more interfaces. I'm developed that and I'm guess I can share to everybody who is interest.
Feature list are:
Toslink SPDIF Optical Out Connector (no coax, just optical)
2x USB 2.0 Port, with current limit 1.5A/ per port (used two free usb port)
Extra 2.1/2.5mm DC jack for 5V power in (USB C can be used as next USB port)
Controlled +5V/3.3V FAN by PWR_EN and GPIO PWM_F (turn off FAN, when …
